Hi, I’m Jelysa—founder of Take 2 Counseling, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, wife, and mom of two. Being a therapist is a huge part of who I am, but so is my family. Juggling real-life responsibilities, caring for others, and trying to stay grounded in the middle of it all gives me a deep understanding of the daily pressures many of us face—especially young women who are trying to find their footing in a fast-paced world. Growing up as the daughter of a therapist, I was surrounded by empathy, connection, and emotional awareness from an early age. My mom showed me that healing doesn’t come from being perfect—it comes from being present, making space for growth, and learning through our mistakes. She continues to be my role model for resilience and restoration.

My experience has taught me the profound value of truly connecting with individuals—walking alongside them as they heal, grow, and realize their full potential. This insight has been instrumental in helping clients develop effective strategies to overcome a wide range of mental health challenges, addictive behaviors, and life transitions, as well as concerns related to both mental and physical well-being. I take a holistic, strengths-based approach to therapy, integrating elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), yoga, mindfulness, and breathwork. I firmly believe that each client’s unique story should shape the therapeutic journey. Clients often leave sessions feeling empowered—with greater confidence, self-esteem, and the motivation to face life’s challenges head-on. My hope is that each person walks back into the world thinking, “I know how to do this day.”

I utilize a variety of counseling techniques from an eclectic collection of theoretical orientations based on the needs and strengths. I specialize in working with individuals on various topics.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey and Texas. When life feels heavy, therapy should do more than help you cope. It should help you understand why you feel stuck, why the same patterns keep returning, and how real healing can begin. I work with individuals facing anxiety, stress, emotional pain, burnout, and the quiet exhaustion of carrying too much for too long. Many of the people I work with are dependable and capable, yet inwardly they feel overwhelmed, drained, disconnected, or alone in what they carry. Therapy can be a place to slow down, gain clarity, and begin moving forward with greater freedom and intention. My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in CBT and IFS. I help clients uncover the deeper thoughts, emotional wounds, inner conflicts, and survival patterns beneath their distress, while also building practical tools for healthier coping and lasting change. I value insight, but I also care about progress that can be felt in daily life and relationships. With nearly 20 years of pastoral counseling experience, I also offer faith integration when desired. If you are tired of carrying everything alone, I offer a grounded, compassionate space where deeper healing and meaningful change can begin.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Felician University. With a deep commitment to supporting individuals through life’s challenges, I work with clients navigating relationship issues, trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, aging, phase-of-life transitions, career aspirations and changes, and parental challenges. In my therapy sessions, I create a safe and nurturing environment where every individual is welcome and valued. I understand that seeking support is a personal and sometimes vulnerable experience, so I prioritize warmth, respect, and openness. My approach is rooted in compassion, ensuring that clients feel heard and supported as they explore their thoughts and emotions. No matter their background or experiences, they can trust that therapy will be a space of acceptance, understanding, and growth.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by New Jersey rather than a city like Newark?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in New Jersey. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across New Jersey from Jersey City to Paterson! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in New Jersey.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Career Counseling?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Career Counseling, is filtering therapists in New Jersey that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
